Whipping Post

Allman Brothers Band
[Intro]
x8
 
 
[Verse 1]
I've been run down, and I've been lied to,
And I don't know why I let that mean woman make me a fool
She took all my money, wrecked my new car
Now she's with one of my good time buddies
Drinkin' in some cross town bar

[Chorus]
* D7 ** E7
Sometimes I feel, sometimes I feel,
Like I've been tied to the whippin' post
Tied to the whippin' post,
Tied to the whippin' post,
C N.C.
Good lord, I feel like I'm dying
 
 
[Instrumental]
x12
 
 
[Verse 2]
My friends tell me that I've been such a fool,
And I have to stand by and take it, baby, all for loving you.
Drown myself in sorrow and I look at what you've done,
But nothing seems to change, the bad times stay the same
And I can't go on
 
 
[Chorus]
* D7 ** E7
Sometimes I feel, sometimes I feel,
Like I've been tied to the whippin' post
Tied to the whippin' post,
Tied to the whippin' post,
C N.C.
Good lord, I feel like I'm dying
